Palworld boss order: clear normal towers before hard-mode cleanup

Use this page when you want the next tower target without mixing old orders or hard-mode stats into the route.

Start with your problem

Boss order advice becomes misleading when it ignores current levels, newer towers, hard-mode rows and the player’s base progression.

The table orders current normal tower rows by level and keeps hard-mode tower cleanup separate so players know when to leave and improve.

No boss cleared You need first-tower readiness.

Use Zoe row and beginner/base checklist.

Avoid: Sprint into later towers.
Order feels stale Newer tower data may be missing.

Use PalDB current tower table and source date.

Avoid: Copy old lists.
Hard mode available You are in cleanup planning.

Use hard rows and higher HP expectations.

Avoid: Mix into normal route.

Player problem

Boss order advice becomes misleading when it ignores current levels, newer towers, hard-mode rows and the player’s base progression.

The table orders current normal tower rows by level and keeps hard-mode tower cleanup separate so players know when to leave and improve.

Order by normal level first

A source-backed boss order starts with normal tower level and HP, then adapts to player readiness.

  • Zoe and Grizzbolt are the earliest current PalDB normal tower row.
  • Lily, Axel, Marcus and Victor move the route into mid/late combat checks.
  • Saya and Bjorn are late/endgame rows in current data.

Use leave conditions

The right order still needs a stop rule when output or survival is not ready.

  • Leave if the timer beats you before HP moves enough.
  • Leave if one mistake kills the run.
  • Leave if your base cannot supply ammo, food and gear upgrades.

Do not merge hard rows

Hard-mode tower rows are useful, but not for first-clear planning.

  • Mark hard mode separately in tables.
  • Do not show hard HP as normal boss prep.
  • Recheck source dates after major patches or new islands.

Boss order rule

Route stateBoss data to useDecision
First towerLowest normal level and HP row.Try Zoe only after basic base/combat readiness.
Mid routeNext normal levels and HP jumps.Upgrade before jumping to level 40+ towers.
Late routeNormal levels 45-58.Treat as endgame prep, not beginner route.
CleanupHard-mode levels and HP.Separate from normal boss order.

Action checklist

Do this in order

  • Normal boss level checked.
  • HP jump understood.
  • Element response planned.
  • Base can supply combat resources.
  • Hard-mode data separated.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the current first tower boss?

Current PalDB rows put Zoe and Grizzbolt at the lowest normal tower level.

Should hard-mode bosses be in the main boss order?

No. Keep them as post-route cleanup so new players do not plan around hard-mode HP.
